C
I couldn't hear him when he called to me
           F
I couldn't hear him at all you see
       C              Am
He was down the road away from me
    F                G
How could I know his answer?


[Chorus]
           C
I couldn't hear him though he shouted hard
           F
I couldn't hear him in my own backyard
    C                    F
The trains were rattling by above
   G               C
He never mentioned love


[Verse 1]
   C
He may have held my hand
                              F
When we were walking down the street
   C
He talked about all kinds of things
    Am                F   C   G   F
But none of them were him and me


[Verse 2]
   C              F
He looked into my eyes
           G                C
Just as an airplane roared above
     F               C
Said something about football
       C
But he never mentioned love


[Chorus]
        F                 C
I never heard him all the times he yelled
        F               C
I never heard him if he tried to tell me
Am           G
If my memory serves me well
   F
He never mentioned love


[Chorus]
        Am                 G
I never hurt him though he says I did
        F
I never hurt him but I die a bit
     Am             G
Each time he passes on the street
   F               Am G
He never mentions love


[Verse 3]
  C
I used to call him every night
                     F
And pray that he was home
  C
I couldn't bear the feeling
        Am              F    C G   F
I might have to live my life alone


[Verse 4]
    C               F
But now my phone is off the hook
    G               C
The word came from above
   F               C
It told me I was wasting time
      C
If he never mentioned love


[Chorus]
        Am              G
I never heard him if he said he cared
        F
I never heard him, I kept my claws bared
  Am                        G
I never heard the things he says he said
   F
He never mentioned he was scared


[Chorus]
        Am                G
I never heard him when he asked of love
        C
I never heard him as the skies above
        Am             G
Chucked buckets on the both of us
   F                Am G
He never mentioned love


[Solo]
C G Am G
F Em G
F


[Verse 5]
   C              F
So if I seem hard-hearted
        G                 C
I would like the court to note
   F               C
He never mentioned love to me
               F
In anything he wrote


[Verse 6]
    C              F
And if I seem cold-blooded
         C                F
I should like to tell the judge
   C              Am        G
In all the time I knew this man
   F              C
He never spoke of love
   C
Or if he did


[Chorus]
        F                 C
I never heard him when he called to me
        F            C
I never heard him at all you see
       Am             G
He was down the line away from me
   F
He never mentioned L.U.V.


[Chorus]
        Am                 G
I never hurt him though he says I did
        F
I never hurt him I just die a bit
     Am            G
Each time we meet upon the street
   C              F G C
We never mention love
